Update the i.MX31 Kernel to 2.6.232.6.23-mx31ads-2008022618072.6.23-mx31-200802261807
This is the result of a brute-force attempt to update the kernel to 2.6.23. Now that we have a git tree, our effort will be a little nicer in the future. Signed-off-by: Justin Waters <justin.waters@timesys.com>

+ like BUG(), printk(), panic() etc. [but let's keep them for now for
+ older compilers]
+
+ Early snapshots of gcc 4.3 don't support this and we can't detect this
+ in the preprocessor, but we can live with this because they're unreleased.
+ Maketime probing would be overkill here.

+ gcc also has a __attribute__((__hot__)) to move hot functions into
+ a special section, but I don't see any sense in this right now in
+ the kernel context */
